However, local (offline) play requires installing Windows on the Steam Deck, which is a more advanced and less seamless process <sup class='quote-ref' data-quote='3'>[3]<\/sup> <sup class='quote-ref' data-quote='6'>[6]<\/sup>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Native Install on SteamOS<\/strong>: <strong>Game Pass games cannot be natively installed on SteamOS<\/strong>. Offline play is only possible if you dual-boot Windows and use the Xbox app for PC.
